Summary/Abstract: In the light of the refugee crisis from 2015, Bulgaria, along with other South-Eastern European countries, were regarded as transit countries by the refugees on their path toward to the countries of Central and Western Europe. This, to a certain extent, isolated it from the main refugee routes and limited the passage of illegal migrants through the country. In that sense, the aim of the report is by calculating three indicators based on the methodology of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, measuring the refugee burden on the host country to prove the transit status of Bulgaria compared to other EU member states.
